Oren Goldenberg is a producer and video artist living and working in the Cass Corridor of Detroit, where he uses video to explore the dismantlement of the public sector, subvert the assumed and create catharsis. His work captures society’s effect on the spaces around us, as well as on the body. Recently, Goldenberg has been utilizing interactive technology and video to create new rituals to address spatial transformation and barriers. His projects have included but are not limited to: A Requiem for Douglass, which premiered at MOCAD in 2015 as part of The Future is Changing, his ongoing series concerning spatial change and coping rituals; Time I Change, an experimental video representation of a black body moving through twentieth century Detroit; Our School, the feature documentary on Detroit's public schools; Brewster Douglass, You're My Brother about America's first public housing project; the feature film The Bicyclist; and the satirical web-series Detroit (Blank) City. He is a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellow, a 2009 University of Michigan Roman J. Witt Visiting Artist, Ann Arbor Film Festival's 2006 Best Michigan Filmmaker and Real Detroit's 2011 Best Detroit Filmmaker.
